The photograph above is one which I took one evening some months ago on the grounds of the Adelaide University. Today, I was granted permission to display this picture in a commercial gallery, and hopefully it will interest someone sufficiently that they will be willing to part with some money for it.
Like many enthusiasts, my dream is to find a way to make my passion pay sufficiently well that I am able to give up jobbing for a living. My problem is that I want to do it on my own terms and not have sell my soul by doing the kind of photography that I detest ( Think 'Studio' type portraits and 'Happy Family' photography ). In the meantime, the bills still need to be paid and the cravings for the latest gadget needs to be sated. The object of my desires is currently the Sony A900 with 24 lovely mega dots; yum yum.
So, my dearest hope is that my picture be so popular that the gallery owner will be begging me for more of my work so that I spend the rest of my days clicking away and making the kinds of photo's that I love. Ah, but for now, it's just a dream.
